25 | A Required Annual inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Robert Maciel. A review of staff records on 5/30/2024 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks received a criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
During today’s inspection the home and grounds were toured. The Licensee was supervising 11 children and was operating within the licensed capacity and ratio requirements. No children were observed left in any parked vehicles. The facility’s operating hours are 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Mon–Fri. The floor plan submitted by the licensee was reviewed and verified. The children will have access to the main backyard, the play room, the kitchen, and the nap room. The "off limits" areas include the home's master bedroom, master bathroom, bedrooms 1, and 2, the hallway bathroom, the front yard, and the backyard behind the master bedroom. These areas were made inaccessible by doorknob slipcovers and baby gates. The home was at a comfortable indoor temperature. The children in care have access to age-appropriate toys and equipment. There is a working telephone in the home. Licensee’s pediatric CPR/First Aid certification was current and expires in March 2026. Items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, etc.) were stored out of the reach of children. There is a functional smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and a fully charged fire extinguisher rated at least 2A10BC. The licensee stated that poisons, firearms, and ammunition are not stored on the premises and none were observed by the LPA.
